Article Evaluation:

Yes, everything in the article is relevant to the article topic, computer engineer barbie. No, nothing in the article distracted me. The article is neutral. I think the history content is underrepresented. Yes, the links work and the source supports the claims in the article. Yes, each fact seems to be referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference. More history on why Mattel decided to conduct a poll on what Barbie to create for Barbie’s 125th career could be added. An up close photograph of Computer Engineer Barbie could also be added. An update as to what happened and what changes were made, if any, after the protests of the Barbie release could also be added. There are not any discussions on the talk page regarding the article. The article is rated as C-class, meaning, it is an intermediate article with room for improvement. This article is apart of WikiProject Books, WikiProject Toys, WikiProject Women scientists, and WikiProject Children’s literature. The way Wikipedia discusses this topic is similar from the way we’ve talked about women and technology in class. There are stereotypes surrounding the ability women have in producing for the world of technology. The creators of this Barbie have even stereotyped this computer engineer Barbie. Rather than her being a woman that is capable of performing engineer tasks on her own, they include that her two male friends help her complete her tasks.
